Selection

ListPicker for Xamarin enables the app users to quickly and easily select an item from a list of items. This topic will go through the provided by the ListPicker API related to item selection.

Important Properties

• SelectedItem(object): Specifies the selected item of the list picker.

Methods

List Picker for Xamarin allows you to clear the selected date/time through its ClearSelection method

Example

• XAML

<StackLayout>
    <Button Text="Clear Selection" Clicked="OnClearSelectionClicked"/>
    <telerikInput:RadListPicker x:Name="listPicker"
                                Placeholder="Pick a name!" 
                                ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" 
                                DisplayMemberPath="FullName">
        <telerikInput:RadListPicker.BindingContext>
            <local:ViewModel/>
        </telerikInput:RadListPicker.BindingContext>
        <telerikInput:RadListPicker.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Label Text="{Binding Name}" 
                       HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" 
                       VerticalTextAlignment="Center"/>
            </DataTemplate>
        </telerikInput:RadListPicker.ItemTemplate>
    </telerikInput:RadListPicker>
</StackLayout>

and we can clear the selection inside the button click event:

• C#

private void OnClearSelectionClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.listPicker.ClearSelection();
}

a sample ViewModel:

• C#

public class ViewModel
{
    public ViewModel()
    {
        this.Items = new ObservableCollection<Person>()
        {
            new Person("Freda","Curtis"),
            new Person("Jeffery","Francis"),
            new Person("Ema","Lawson"),
            new Person("Niki","Samaniego"),
            new Person("Jenny","Santos"),
            new Person("Eric","Wheeler"),
            new Person("Emmett","Fuller"),
            new Person("Brian","Johnas"),
        };
    }

    public ObservableCollection<Person> Items { get; set; }
}

and the Business model:

• C#

public class Person
{
    public Person(string name, string lastName)
    {
        this.Name = name;
        this.LastName = lastName;
    }

    public string Name { get; set; }

    public string LastName { get; set; }

    public string FullName
    {
        get
        {
            return $"{this.Name} {this.LastName}";
        }
    }
}

also you will need to add the following namespace:

• XAML

xmlns:telerikInput="clr-namespace:Telerik.XamarinForms.Input;assembly=Telerik.XamarinForms.Input"

Events

List Picker for Xamarin exposes a SelectionChanged event which is raised when the user confirms the selected item.

Example

• XAML

<telerikInput:RadListPicker Placeholder="Pick a name!" 
                            ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" 
                            SelectionChanged="RadListPicker_SelectionChanged"
                            DisplayMemberPath="FullName">
    <telerikInput:RadListPicker.BindingContext>
        <local:ViewModel/>
    </telerikInput:RadListPicker.BindingContext>
    <telerikInput:RadListPicker.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Label Text="{Binding Name}" 
                   HorizontalTextAlignment="Center" 
                   VerticalTextAlignment="Center"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerikInput:RadListPicker.ItemTemplate>
</telerikInput:RadListPicker>

and the SelectionChanged event, where sender is the RadListPicker control:

• C#

private void RadListPicker_SelectionChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // implement your logic here
}

a sample ViewModel:

• C#

public class ViewModel
{
    public ViewModel()
    {
        this.Items = new ObservableCollection<Person>()
        {
            new Person("Freda","Curtis"),
            new Person("Jeffery","Francis"),
            new Person("Ema","Lawson"),
            new Person("Niki","Samaniego"),
            new Person("Jenny","Santos"),
            new Person("Eric","Wheeler"),
            new Person("Emmett","Fuller"),
            new Person("Brian","Johnas"),
        };
    }

    public ObservableCollection<Person> Items { get; set; }
}

and the Business model:

• C#

public class Person
{
    public Person(string name, string lastName)
    {
        this.Name = name;
        this.LastName = lastName;
    }

    public string Name { get; set; }

    public string LastName { get; set; }

    public string FullName
    {
        get
        {
            return $"{this.Name} {this.LastName}";
        }
    }
}

where the sender is the RadListPicker control.

also you will need to add the following namespace:

• XAML

xmlns:telerikInput="clr-namespace:Telerik.XamarinForms.Input;assembly=Telerik.XamarinForms.Input"
